"Location of the city of Mazeolium unknown, except for existing somewhere within the vast Cherry Tomato Archipelago. Note the fully operational Rovers, after a successful transition from sister city, The Village."
A maze from the Codex Seraphinianus, Luigi Serafini's encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in an undecipherable language.
"...the book lies in the uneasy boundary between surrealism and fantasy, given an odd literary status by its masquerade as a book of fact."
"Some people with whom I have shared this book find it frightening or disturbing in some way. It seems to them to glorify entropy, chaos, and incomprehensibility. There is very little to fasten onto; everything shifts, shimmers, slips."
Available at Elam's Fine Arts Library, and I may just have to request the copy held at Konstfack in Stockholm.
